Kermit Adams, founder of K Lures out of Fresno, CA sent me some of his BIG K-lures in several different conformations to try on my next trip to Brazil's Amazon for Peacock Bass. I have used Kermit's lures in the past, catching some pretty good Peacocks on them.

Several things I will say about Kermit's Lures, they are big (Magnum size!) and tough! Kermit's lures are equipped with 5/0 & 6/0 4x strong VMU premium hooks and heavy split rings as well as extra long screws and tuned propellers. You don't have to worry about modifying these lures before using them! These monsters, weighing upwards of 2 ozs, remind me of Phil Jensen's big original Wood Choppers of the 1990's.

Some of Kermit's paint jobs are impressive as well! You can throw these well balanced logs into the next area code, so you want to be sure your reels are fully loaded with line before you wind up and chunk one of these big boys. Kermit, I'm looking forward to using these beauties within the next month and see if we can excite a BIG Peacock Bass into doing battle with one of your gems. I'll share some pictures with you and my Facebook friends when I get back from what will be my 35th trip to Brazil's Amazon since 1997! I'm sure our guides on our Safari Camps with River Plate Outfitters will be impressed with these "choppers!"FISH WITH THE BEST AWAY FROM THE REST
